Boggs Creek Campground

About

Boggs Creek Recreation Area is located in the Blue Ridge Ranger District of the Chattahoochee National Forest, approximately 20 miles south of Blairsville or 15 miles north of Dahlonega via US Highway 19/129. The area centers on Boggs Creek, a popular trout stream that is stocked regularly by Georgia DNR. This site has been converted to day-use only and overnight camping is prohibited. Visitors may fish, picnic at scattered tables along the creek, and access nearby hiking trails. The Byron Herbert Reece Trail, a 3/4-mile connector to the Appalachian Trail, is located just north along the highway. DeSoto Falls Trail with its two waterfalls is also nearby. No RVs, trailers, or off-highway vehicles are permitted. Parking is limited to designated spaces along the creek. Potable water is not available. For overnight camping, the Forest Service recommends nearby DeSoto Falls, Dockery Lake, or Lake Winfield Scott Recreation Areas.
